All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.
This record is in very good+ condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely deep or major but there is very light sleeve scuffs or wispy lines to both sides(possibly from being cleaned incorrectly?). All these 'lines' are really thin and faint but nevertheless are there. They clearly show under bright light along with a few more wispy lines but again nothing serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and still has a lovely shine.
I play tested the record and it plays very well overall. It lays flat and there is minimal movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent for the vast majority with no serious levels of interference and no skips, sticks or clicks. There is however some light surface noise or light crackling in the opening mellow intro to side 1. This can be heard while it is mellow but once the song 'drops' there is nothing at all major audible. Other than this there is the odd light splutter but nothing at all majorly disruptive. Overall it was a very enjoyable audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.
The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics) but the writing along the spine is still all legible. This wear is not really drastic and there are no splits or weak areas anywhere. Other than the edge wear there is a ring mark showing on the rear and some fading to both sides. There is also some fading and slight grubbiness inside the gatefold but nothing major. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is the odd minor indentation and light crease. Overall a solid sleeve with just general age related wear really. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original lyrics inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and only minor wear, slight creasing and faint ring marks. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.
I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my eBay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
